Since 1978, award-winning artist Thomas Allen Pauly has portrayed some of the finest horses and jockeys in the country. Born and raised in Chicago, his love of the sport emerged in Sportsman's Park winners’ circle.

Working primarily in oils and watercolors, Pauly travels extensively throughout the world to observe his subjects in their natural settings and has photographed the Royal Ascot, the Arc de Triomphe, the Velka Pardubicka Ceske Pojistovny Steeplechase in Prague and numerous Breeders’ Cups, Preaknesses, Belmonts and Kentucky Derbies. He depicted the who’s who in Thoroughbred racing in a portrait series commissioned by Arlington International Racecourse.

His artwork has appeared on the covers of many international equine publications. Pauly was commissioned by the Bloodhorse to illustrate a piece for the 2002 Breeders’ Cup Magazine. He is a frequent contributor to the Shoemaker Foundation and the New York Jockey Club charity auctions.

Pauly attended the prestigious American Academy of Art and has studied with equestrian artists Sam Savitt, Else Tuckerman, Larry Wheeler and portrait artist Julian Gilbert. Pauly’s portraits are known for their accuracy, their energy, their sentiment and their celebration of achievement.
